How to Use Notes

This is a guide in using fill in the blank notes, free notes, and what you can do with them.

First off, sometimes we will have fill in the blank options for you. These will look like this:

If you type something up there that is incorrect, the blue line will turn red, and give you the option to reveal the answer. You can do that or type the correct response and the line will turn green.

Secondly, you can type in whatever notes you want using the icon that looks like the one below this statement on the right.


Whatever you type on that, will stay in your own personal note!

Lastly, you can send yourself your note to your email to save. We recommend you doing this if you are using a browser window because it won’t be saved. However, if you find the notes through the “Message Notes” section on our app homepage, your notes will be saved there.

“…My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.”
—2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT

And with so many voices speaking so many thoughts and opinions, How do we possibly know what to prioritize!?


“Prioritize what’s most important”


“Better to spend your time at funerals than at parties.
After all, everyone dies— so the living should take this to heart.
Sorrow is better than laughter, for sadness has a refining influence on us.
A wise person thinks a lot about death, while a fool thinks only about having a good time.”
—Ecclesiastes 7:2-4 NLT


What if living this life to what we believe is the complete fullest is not what matters most?


Fear


“…Jesus began to preach, “Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.” Matthew 4:17 NLT

“Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”
—John 13:34-35 NLT


- “We have to Prioritize what’s Most Important because The Kingdom of Heaven is here now!”
- And what’s most important? Love! What’s our guiding ethic? Love. So whatever you do, do it with love!
- And lastly, we can’t give up! Don’t give up! Even if you fall, get back up.


“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”
—Galatians 6:9-10 NLT


“So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.”
—Romans 12:1-2 (Message Paraphrase) E Peterson

“Live it Well”

Life is short; I wanna live it well
One life, one story to tell
Life is short; I wanna live it well
And you’re the one I’m living for
Awaken all my soul
Every breath that you take is a miracle

Life is short; I wanna live it well, yeah
I wanna sing with all my heart a lifelong song
Even if some notes come out right and some come out wrong
Cause I can’t take none of that through the door
Yeah, I’m living for more than just a funeral
I wanna burn brighter than the dawn

Yeah, I’m living for more than just a funeral
I wanna burn brighter than the dawn
—Switchfoot
